The first time slow down the speed of light
For the first time, scientists have slowed down the speed of light - particles called photons - as it passes through an empty environment, according to a new study.
For the first time, scientists have slowed down the speed of light - particles called photons - as it passes through an empty environment, according to a new study.
They have dramatically reduced the speed of photons by creating a special layer of "masks" - designed to slow down the speed of photons. The speed of the photon by changing its shape.

They tested it by sending two photons together at the same distance to a specified destination, in which a photon was passed through a "mask".
As a result, the photon does not pass through the mask as expected, while the photon passes through the mask to slower, meaning that its velocity has been reduced.
The researchers said the rule could apply to any wave theory, including sound waves.
Previously, slowing down the speed of light in space was thought impossible, but the latest research disrupted this "impossibility" . It also provides new insights into the nature of light.
Scientists say they are continuing to explore ways to exploit the possibilities that research could bring.
